I remember back in the day, those of us who were sorcerers varied widely in opinion as to what was best. Basically nobody had slvl15 fireball, it started at 16 and went to 20. You had true arty mages who walked around with their bigass 20's and virtually no defense (or the famed hacked AAA with 255 charges), those who went sword/shield. Those who had 1300 mana, those who had enormous blocking and ac.

I never liked arty, I think I ran at 16-18 depending on what i felt like. I carried a king's bastard sword of slaughter to stunlock soulburners and my lovable dreamflange for normal use. Awesome full plate/stormshield/royal crown or thinking cap. Standard generic nearly godmode gear due to the poor balance of the game. :)

I think these days I would have appreciated less cookie cutter uberness, as I avoid those characters in d2.

You really don't need anything. You need less than anything, as the Beyond Naked warriors show. You'll be fine as long as you learn how to use what you have.

At the very least, you can stone curse everything except diablo and kill it with a sword. /nod


From what I recall, the optimal level of chain lightning is 7 or 8. Once you start getting higher than that, you begin getting gaps in your streams with too many monsters around. This is very, very apparent at high levels with dozens of targets. The fact you do less damage can be made up for by proper positioning, and the fact that the gaps do 0 damage anyway...
